Material Safety Data Sheet
Storage Requirements Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect
against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of
this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Section 8-Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Exposure Limits
ACGIH TLV Not listed
OSHA PEL Not listed
Other (specify) N.A.
Engineering Controls (specific)
General Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations low.
Local Exhaust A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document,
Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent
edition, for details.
Other N.A.
Personal Protective Equipment (specific)
Gloves Synthetic gloves
Respirator A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and
ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed
whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
Eye Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described
by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work
area.
Footwear Closed toe shoes
Clothing Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
